BOARD OF VISITORS.
Their Report on Stark County
Charities and Corrections.
Paramount Children's Home, County In
frmary, County jail and other Pris-
ons Found in Good Shape
Everything Satisfactory.

To the Honorable, the Court of Com
mon Pleas of Stark County, Ohio, and
the Board of State Charities:
The Board of Visitors appointed by
the Court of Common Pleas to visit the
charitable and correctional institutions
of the county, beg leave to make the
following report for the year 1887:
The members of the Board are the
same as last year, with one exception
Mrs. Mary X. Hartzell having been ap-
pointed to fill the vacancy oecasiOned
by the resignation of Mrs. H. b. Sax
ton, Although our visits have notbeen
as frequent as the law prescribes, we
have endeavored to make our investi-
cation thorough, and as usual have
been courteously received by the per-
sons in charge.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1887-12-08
COUNTY JAIL.

In the different inspections of the
county Jail, we have always found the
cells neat and clean. There is lack of
proper ventilation in the upper story
which should be remedied if it can be
done consistent with safety. From the
reports furnished of the dietary, we are
of the opinion that the food provided
for the prisoners is more than sufficient
for persons kept in such close confine-
ment. Exercise in the open air is es-
sential to nealth of body and mind.
When that is withdrawn, the food
should be proportionately lessened.

decorated the depot building, and
a large and enthusiastic crowd

THE HIGHLICENSE ELL.

| The Republican Senators show that they APP
prcciatc the importance Of the High License
bill, and they are acting wisely in pressing it
forward There is no reason for delaying
action upon it. The committee which is III
charge of it is no doubt prepared 10 report it,
and vote can now be reached at almost any
time, urgency having been moved. Apparent
ly, it will be passed in the Senate as in the
Assembly, by nearly, if not quite, strict party
vote. There have been limitations that Gov
cnor Hill desires to have the support of as
much Democratic sympathy and apparent party
action as possible, for contemplated veto Of
the bill. 1t may he so, but it is clear that the
concentration of Democratic opposition upon
the bill must have more effects than one. High
License is measure aimed at the diminution
of an evil which strikes everywhere without
regard to party distinctions. Democratic pol
iticians of the hide-bound sort may think it
practical politics TO ally themselves openly
with the rum power. but Democrats as well as
Republicans are exposed TO the worst results
Of drunkaId making: the saloon inyadcs their
homes ruins their children, blasts their pros
poets. entails poverty and shame and ruin upon
them without the least regard to their politics !;
and their wives and sisters and daughters have
u same grounds for cursing this evil agency
rs those OF Republicans.
The drink evil cannot he made party cues
tin like those issues which have few or no
social implications. 1t concerns the whole
country. 1t is intimately connected with The
whole of modern life. IL strikes at the fam,
lily, ut the individual at all social relations. at
all forms Of religion, at all occupations and
industries And therefore il is the plain and
unquestionablc duty Of all who represent the
public. who are elected TO make the laws for
them. whose function it is TO remove abuses
and facilitate progress TO help and not hinder
whatever measures may tend to mitigate this
omniprcsent source Of mischief To .akc the
opposite course TO oppose such measures Of
relief is necessarily to commit the party that
does il TO policy which can find no support
in any popular sentiment; which must narrow
the pro-rum party down to the most dis
tinct and intolerablc factionalism; that,
namely, which consists in scIvitudc to small
minority whose interests are wholly ut war
with the general welfare. II is TO this bad and
sinister position the Democrats of Ncw-Y DIRK
are now moving, and the veto of the High
License bill by Governor Hill following upon
the cmmittal of the Democrats in Senate and
Assembly to the liquor interest, could only re-
suit in so fastening this anti public policy upon
the party as TO separate II emphatically and
